3. A dangerousness risk assessment in June 2024, as part of a pre-sentencing report, submitted to Manhattan District Criminal Justice Juan Merchan (as mental health experts often do to give recommendations at the time of sentencing delayed only because of the U.S. Supreme Court's immunity decision), by another independent, nongovernmental panel of the most eminent mental health experts alive-- which determined that Trump is extremely dangerous; and

4. An empirical study demonstrating that mental health experts from all over the nation overwhelmingly believe that it is our duty to educate the public about dangerous leadership (a summary can be found in our new publication, The More Dangerous Case of Donald Trump, and soon to be published in full in a scientific journal).

The theme of our conference was that fitness is not a subjective, partisan, or even political "opinion" but a scientific finding based on extensive research, clinical experience, and uniform application of medical standards to military officers, officers handling nuclear weapons, surgeons, and executive officials. The consensus at the conference was that mental fitness is critically important for the U.S. presidency and that Donald Trump is decisively unfit. It should become widely known that Trump's mental unfitness has now been objectively measured in multiple ways; that mental health expertise is critical to explaining what he is and is not capable of doing; how dangerous it is to have a mentally unfit person in a position of power; and how his psychological dangers can quickly spread into social, cultural, and geopolitical dangers, by rendering domestic legal and political institutions, and global balances and alliances ineffectual.

Five Minute News, Anthony Davis' program, did an excellent feature of our conference, in two parts:

It should now be obvious that we cannot leave up to a mentally unfit person to choose to do the right thing. We also cannot rely on his supporters whose self-awareness, agency, and personhood he has usurped, in order to deny his unfitness, to recognize what will help or harm them. Therefore, please watch the conference summary video. Read the book that was released at the conference. Visit the conference website for updates. Please continue to support our getting the message out through advertisements, our distributing the conference statement widely, and our raising the awareness that we simply cannot have an unfit president in this much more dangerous world.
